in the process of empanneling jury for

think that any moral. intelligent Juror
would wilfully form and nurse bias or
prejudice for or against his fellow,

they have forfeited the right to it by
their acts and conduct. Let evil be to
him that thirketh evil. The only end
great danger i bias or prejudice in a
criminal case is against the accused and
proceeds from that natural repulsion to
crime which is found il the hearts Of all
honest men. From this there is danger
that juror, though acting honestly and

see and hear and Judge darkly Oh the

this is true We must remember that nc

The essential features Of the present
system OF trial by jury have stood the

say let them stand unimpaired. for il
there be any force in the objection on

Quite Il Romance.

Mr.. J. B. Blaikie's marriage to Miss
Ellen Bolts, OF Savannah, was recently
announced. This marriage has an un-
usual halo of romance about it. Miss
Bolts was niece of President Arthur,
and after her engagement a fever and
the excitement Of the earthquake brought
about q loss of vision which the occuIlsts
pronounced permanent. She lmmedl-
ately sent her iance, who was IN Scot
land, q release, which LIE refused to
accept, and took the next steamer to
america to declare his fidelity and urge
an immediate marriage. This unezpect-
ed happiness produced a great change
for tic better in Miss Bolts, which ended
by her recovering her eyesight. Tue

(From the New York Times.)
The farmers Of Nebraska have served
notice upon tie sgreat American desert"
that it must withdraw from their State,
and are now pushing its eastern bounda-
~ across the line into Wyoming and
Colorado. On She 5th instant Cheyenne
couuty's first agricultural fair was held
ct Sidney, o town on the meridian Of
lO3 degrees. This county, which is
about the size Of the State OF Connect
cut, lies between the meriaians Of lO2
degrees and l04 degrees, far beyond the
line which Was declared q few years ago
to be the Western limit of agriculture in
the region lying between the Rocky
Mountains and the Mississippi.
Sidney is situated on Lodge Pole
Greek, a tributary Of the South Platte.
Three years ago there was not farm
house or any sign OF habitati9n in The
region between these streams, which ex-
tends across the southern part OF
Cheyenne county. To-day" said
General Morrow, ''the landscape is
dotted all over with houses, looking like
the little silver spots or emerald fields. p"
The soil is surprisingly rich in the e!e-
ments which produce magnificent crops
of corn, wheat, oats and other cereals. "
Almost the only drawback is tsthe sup
posed lack OF moisture in the crop
growing months OF June, July and Au-
gust" But this supposed Lack Of
moisture" has not prevented the settle
ment OF the county by farmers ard
sufficient agricultural development
within two or three years to warrant the
holding OF fair in ''the desert" With
regard to changes which have made the
region attractive, General Morrow said:
ssHas the Climate OF Western Nebraska
changed within the last few years, and Is
it still undergoing modification? l think
it is safe to say that the climate of eli the
Northwestern States has undergone, ard

HUNGER FOR PRAIsE.--Women's efforts to
please in the matter of cooking are rarely ap-
preciated, or, if so, she hears no word of
commendation. Men do not seem to realize
how much a womans heart hungers for
words of praise from their husbands lips.
If she prepares some dainty dish TO tempt
his appetite, he is too careless to note how
eagerly she waits TO know if he likes it.
Appreciation is one of the best incentives
the world affords. After the labors incident
to the preparation of meal, how it seems
to rest wife to hear her husband say ::
s. How nice and light your biscuits are" or,
Wife, this meat is cooked to suit my
taste,n or other words Of commentator.
A few words of commendation repay her
for her trouble. Just try this for once,
careless husband, and see if your wife's
face don't light up, and all traces Of weari-
ness disappear on the instant. Oh, think
of the many things you can do to brighten
her life. A little appreciation by one she
loves goes a good way toward making a
woman happy. Many weary wife drags
out her life unappFeciated, scarcely finding
a word of sympathy from her husband

WASHINGTON, April 14th.-In the quar-.
terly report of the Chief of the Bureau Of
Statistics the consumption of distilled and
malt liquors and wines, and the estimates
made by recognized authorities, are dwell
upon at some length. In round numbers
the consumption of distilled spirits, do
mestic and imported, increased from 49,
100000 gallons in 1910 to 70 900 900 in 1856
of wines, from 4, 100000 gallons to 22,0o0,
600, and of malt liquors from 100000 tc
100000.
An elaborate statement made by +. n
Barrett, editor of the New York Grocer, by
request Of the Chief of the Bureau, j:
given, which sets forth among other things
that the present average expenditure in
this country per annum for malt ano
spirituous liquors and beer, at retail, is
500, 600 000 The drinking population is
estimated to be Tin 1856 IA 925, All, max.
ing an average expenditure per capita o.
$45 80.
Barrett shows by tables covering five
years, from 1882 to 1885, inclusive, that the
consumption of spirits is decreasing, and
that of beer is increasing, and that there is
a reduced use of wine as a beverage
During this period he says, !" the con-
sumption of coffee has risen from eight
and two-tenths pounds per capita to
11-100 pounds. Do not these facts show
that milder stimulants are driving Out
their competitors, and is it not due to the
growing agitation of the temperance ques'
ton ?"

Conflict Between State and Federal
Courts in Maine.

SOuEis HI
AUGUSTA, April 14th.-A liquor case on
trial in the Superior Court here has deyel-
oped conflict between the Federal and
State Courts, as a result of the clash be-
tween the new liquor law and the regula-
tions of the Internal Revenue Department.
One of the provisions of the new liquor
law is that the payment of retail internal
revenue tax by the accused shall be con-
sidered prima facie evidence of a violation
of the law, and the penalties provided
shall be inflicted without further process.
In the case on trial, Reuben G.. Hall is
charged with a violation of the law, and
Deputy Collector Murphy was called
to testify as to the payment of
retail tax by the defendant.
Murphy refused to testify, stating that if
he should give such evidence his oction
would be likely to reduce the amount of
collections in his district, besides being
contrary to the instructions of Collector
Redman. Judge Whitehouse then ordered
him committed for contempt of Court and
to suspend action until 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning, the prisoner meanwhile re-
naming in the custody of the Sheriff.
This was to give Murphy an opportunity
! to petition Judge Webb, of the United
States District Court of Portland, for a
writ of habeas corpus, the necessary papers
for which were at once forwarded. This
morning Collector Redman telegraphed
Judge Whitehouse that Murphy was act
ing in accordance with instructions of him
self and the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, and requesting the prisoners s
discharge. This request was not granted,
and the case was continued. The result OF
the case will have an important bearing on
the matter of administering the liquor
laws adopted at the recent session of the
Legislature
